haha! I just bought a gps tracker for $70 I'm going to test on my CBR.

I bid on a 2020 in North Carolina and won but seller didn't accept because it didn't clear their minimums. Man I may just have to buy a working bike and wreck it so I have something to fix.

Let us know how it works! Definitely wouldn't mind slapping one in mine.

Man y'all what a saga.

Homeless people near my house had PIECES of my busa. One turned in the license plate with a note that said it was at a particular address. They gave the note to a guy at a local autozone. The police went with me to that address, the man there knew nothing about it and the bike was not there (we looked everywhere).

We have notes up all over the neighborhood, and I've spoken to basically everyone and given out flyers. Even got some up in the entrances of some local businesses. I got 75 flyers out. Funny enough the detective helping me told me to call it "lost" rather than "stolen" in the flyers. Hoping that some homeless guy wheeled it off and can just say he "found it" and claim the reward.

I know I won't ever see it again but damnit I want to at least feel like I did everything I could.

In the mean time I have sold some stuff (old laptop, etc) and with a little pitty budgeting with the wife I now have $10k to spend on a bike. That's a pretty decent little budget, I've got a few that I'm bidding on.

What a damn roller coaster.

Why not a gen 1? You can get them dirt cheap.

You got it, I'll report back. If this works it'll be a game changer.

I want the faster one

Maybe with the introduction of the gen 3 someone will have a gen 2 sitting around and would get a better return selling it to you than trading it in...????

Good luck with your quest.

Slap a turbo on it I'm not sure on American prices but I got a 100% stock with 23,000 km or 14000 miles for you Americans for under $4000 Canadian they must be cheaper in the states.

I've done so much with turbo cars I just don't want the headache. It always seems simple then I end up dealing with issue after issue. The car ends up spending as much time waiting for something as I get to ride it, and then any mistake spins a rod bearing. At least that was my experience I know these motors are a lot stronger for boost than some of the ones I worked on in the past but...I think I'll stick to Na for now

Wow, oh crap, I should have read the whole post......hang in there !.

 

[amirpc]

Got the Trackmate GPS wired into my CBR today. Went in pretty easy once I found a line for switched power.

shows my bike on map and tells me whether it's off or on. I'm going to find a place to tuck it away so it's less obvious. I'll prob put this in all my bikes now.

WooHoo!! Don't they all!!!

 

[amirpc]

Back in the game, this time I'm going to wire in GPS before I leave the house

Bought a 2020 at auction that looks like it's got some frame damage, hopefully just to the back end. Got a pretty good price, I will go pick it up first thing next week.

 

[Bumblebee]

Looks like a good candidate for you to play with....

Good plan with the GPS...

That poor dude possibly got rear-ended?

@amirpc you continuously move at lightning speed and give "no time to waste" a brand new meaning. You are a force of inspiration.

Lol thanks - but if I went slower I would probably still have my first busa

 

[amirpc]

Drove up to the auction and picked up the new bike. Going to move this into the gen2 forum: Gen2 copart special: redemption | Gen 2 Busa Information

GUYS

I just got a call from the police in Atlanta. My bike is on impound at south side towers.

They won't tell me what shape it's in but just that I owe something like $400 and it is going up by $25 a day. I have to fly to Atlanta and check it out myself.

WTF!!

 

[amirpc]

wow. Just worked it through with wrecker and the police.

it's not my bike. Just the same last six on the vin.

good thing I didn't get a flight to Atlanta. What a circus!!

 

[turtlezx]

piece of cake i wish the bikes bought off copart were that good
